Late Quaternary sedimentation in two phreatic caves in northwestern Florida, USA: the influence of climate variability and cave geometry
(2014-09-22)
Thick sediments have accumulated in many inland phreatic caves in the Floridian Ocala limestone (USA), but the paleoenvironmental value of these sediments remains unknown. Phreatic cave sediments could provide proxy-based ...
Localization of Estrogen Receptor 1 in Kisspeptin Neurons during Maturation of the Reproductive Neuroendocrine Axis in Ewe Lambs
(2014-09-26)
The maturation of the reproductive neuroendocrine axis is associated with a decrease in the sensitivity to estradiol negative feedback and an increase in the frequency of secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH). It is ...
Vertical-Lift Aircraft: An Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics to a VTOL Engine Model
(2014-09-19)
Traditional VTOL aircraft engines use thrusts of air to lift the aircraft straight up and allow them to hover, take off, and land vertically. In this enhanced vertical lift engine design, the direction of incoming air flow ...

Cryptic Species Analysis of Austrobilharzia variglandis and Mesostephanus appendiculatus in the Salt Marsh Gastropod, Cerithidea pliculosa, in Galveston Bay
(2014-09-15)
Parasites, in particular trematodes (Platyhelminthes: Digenea), play major roles in the population dynamics and community structure of invertebrates on soft-sediment mudflats (Leung, 2009). Austrobilharzia variglandis and ...
LIFE CYCLE AND COMMUNITY STRUCTURE OF MAYFLIES (INSECTA: EPHEMEROPTERA) AND CHIRONOMIDS (INSECTA: CHIRONOMIDAE) IN THE NAVASOTA RIVER, TEXAS.
(2014-05-15)
Research focused upon the structure and function of low elevation, turbid lotic ecosystems is lacking throughout much of the southeastern United States. This lack of basic ecological data severely hampers decision makers ...
